Daniel, thanks for your interesting take on this series. I haven't analyzed the show to your degree, but I can say this: I find it more engaging and entertaining than much of what has been produced previously in the Trek universe since The Next Generation. It IS a treat to experience each new episode.

The writing is rich, the characters multi-dimensional and the production value is high. The set design is exquisite and it does feel like everyone in this production, from the writers and actors, to the entire production team, is "swinging for the fences" in every episode. The singing episode was a real eye-opener. It easily could have flopped. Instead, they pulled it off in spectacular fashion. "Ad Astra Per Aspera" was a real gem, with a message for our times in true Gene Roddenberry tradition.
As someone who watched the original series as a teenager, I feel this series is good old-fashioned appointment viewing, something I haven't felt for a very long time. Kudos to everyone involved.
